Note that promotion to black belt -- the symbol of jiu-jitsu mastery -- still requires passing a five-day, live evaluation, at the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy during which we will ensure that the candidate is not only technically perfect, but also understands the Gracie diet, history, and philosophy and is committed to upholding the family commitment to high personal standards and a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
